An element useful for recording images using nonimpact type printing is described. This element is preferably comprised of a transparent support having an antistatic layer coated on one side and a print receptive layer coated on the other. In another embodiment another print receptive layer can be present over the antistatic layer. The print receptive layer is a novel combination of binder, crosslinking agent, whitener, and matte agent. Excellent, hard, sharp images are produced using conventional nonimpact printing devices such as ink jet, pen plotters and electrostatic imaging.

Photosensitive element comprisng a polyester, e. g. , polyethylene terephthalate, at least 0. 008 inch (0. 20 mm) thick bearing on both sides a polymeric water-vapor barrier layer at least 0. 00001 inch (0. 00025 mm) thick of a copolymer of vinylidene chloride containing at least 80% by weight of vinylidene chloride and minor amounts of alkyl acrylate, and itaconic acid, and on at least one side of said barrier layer, a layer of a photosenstive material, e. g. , silver halide emulsion, diazo or photopolymer. The element in the form of a phototool limits dimensional change within 6 hours after exposure to a 5% Relative Humidity change to no more than 0. 001 inch (0. 025 mm) per 24 inches (60. 96 cm).
